Well, it was hard to concentrate on anything with Ishmael's lips on his jaw like that. It kind of made him want to forget about searching for the thing and seeing if he couldn't convince Ishmael to give him a favor first and then they could search through the trinkets for it. But that would mean admitting being quite powerless to Ishmael's charms and they couldn't have that, now could they?

"Oh really? Have more important places to be?" Monty asked, slightly surly. He should be The Most Important, in his opinion. He was sidetracked from being Extra Petty when he finally closed his hand around the ring that he had snagged with Ishmael in mind. Well, fuck.

"When I saw this, I wondered if you ever have moments of missing the sun and figured this was one way you could sort of have that back." Now that he was actually in the moment of presenting it, he realized it was entirely too romantic. It would give Ishmael ideas. It also betrayed that he thought of Ishmael and the struggles Ishmael probably faced. "I also figured he could maybe duplicate it and enchant them so that if we have need of one another, the other can know through the ring." Okay, that was definitely in the realm of too intimate, it sailed right into a depth that Monty just did not want to admit to, even to himself. "So.. yeah. What do you think?"
